'GOOGLE WILL COME AFTER YOU': Jenner & Block has asked a Washington federal judge to block Google subpoenas that demand documents from the law firm about its advocacy work, NLJ's Zoe Tillman reports. “The most fundamental purpose of these subpoenas is to send a message to anyone who dares to seek government redress for Google's facilitation of unlawful conduct: If you and your attorneys exercise their First Amendment right to seek redress from a government official, Google will come after you,” Jenner's lawyers said in their court papers. Google's lawyers at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
SILBERMAN'S SNIPE: Judge Laurence Silberman of the D.C. Circuit—the premiere home to agency and administrative cases—served up a one-sentence concurring statement Tuesday that had the appellate bar buzzing. “I wish FERC's briefing was as clear as Judge Sentelle's opinion,” the judge wrote. NLJ has the story here. Over at Above the Law: Bad Briefing Begets Brutal Benchslap. “It seems that Judge Richard Cudahy of the Seventh Circuit has some competition for the greatest concurrence ever,” ATL's David Lat writes. The Volokh Conspiracy has this piece: What the FERC?
GARDEN STATE TRIAL: A New Jersey federal district judge rejected Sen. Bob Menendez's effort to move his corruption trial from the Garden State to the District of Columbia, Politico's Josh Gerstein reports. Menendez's defense, led by Chadbourne & Parke's Abbe Lowell, accused the government of “disingenuousness” arguments in its argument against a venue change.
